Primary reason for wanting to do STR is because I'm interested in gaining hands-on experience with this strategy so I can apply it towards longer-term goals in more traditional vacation markets. 

Some of the markets I'd suggest (assuming cash flow is your goal) are Cleveland, Akron, Canton, Toledo and Dayton.

I think the bigger question is what are the long term goals? 

Unfortunately, it's become more common for people to shirk their own responsibility, like paying rent, and then look to blame other folks for everything that happens to them.Question: Why are you taking calls from an evicted ex-tenant? 

I'd be happy to jump on a call and learn more about what your goals and plans are.

That’s the goal with trying to find a brokerage.

My goal is to develop this property without resorting to upfront cash investments.I've attempted to collaborate with several general contractors, hoping to find a partner interested in a joint development venture.

I agree partnering is something I won’t take lightly, I really would want to collaborate with folks that are on the same page and have similar goals that align with my own

there ARE for sure deals to be found in MA and NH, but in MA at least in nicer towns you're more likely to just *offset* your cost of living vs actually cashflowing from a househack. not a dealbreaker depending on your goals though!

That's the fun part of "land" speculation right Jay ;-) lol btw that too is very common in asian country especially when the land is developed into resort , say something like in bali or thailand...
